[syslog-ng]Connection broken, line before lose

[Benoit DOLEZ]

Hi,

When a connection broken is detected (error when writing
a line to an invalid socket), the line that make the
"connection broken" to be detected is definitly lost.

In a local file
Feb 24 22:09:47 src@loki root: 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23
Feb 24 22:09:48 src@loki root: 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23
Feb 24 22:09:48 src@loki syslog-ng[18900]: Connection broken to 
AF_INET(127.0.0.1:40000), reopening in 60 seconds
Feb 24 22:09:49 src@loki root: 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23

In the remote process
# nc -l -p 40000
(...)
Feb 24 22:09:47 src@loki root: 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23
